Great articleThat's a great article. I would also recommend ClearOS to anyone researching this sort of thing. I've been using it for a long time now and it has a lot of useful features. |

Plus one to clear OS. Great for home DIY and small business users. |

The ClearOS development team has put together some very clever solutions for packet handling within Linux. I actually followed a lot of their ideas when I scripted together my personal solutions for things like multiwan handling. |

I think it rocks. I find new things I can do with it all the time, and the moderators and developers on their forums are very active and helpful. I've had much better performance since I switched, but I do have to say that I spend a little more time maintaining my COS UTM - in particular the intrusion prevention (aka snort) turns off sometimes when my cable modem flaps - but it's easy enough to turn it back on. |

Soekris EngineeringSoekris engineering has been doing this for a very long time. You can add wireless modules to them if you want. Mine takes 5 watts.
Website still is crappy after all these years...
Soekris.com
Since they use x86 procs normal distros and router software mentioned works.
Go check it out. |
